album Metal Health, which led to her being signed
to Vanity Records in 1984. CBS bought out Tuesday's
recording contract in 1987, and she released her own
self-titled debut album on Parc/CBS Records that
same year. The album contained a cover version of the
Prince tune “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?”
“Out of Control”,
the only single to be
released from Tues-
day's self-titled album,
received decent expo-
sure in dance clubs.
It has been remixed
several times with dif-
ferent single releases.
Tuesday promoted
the album by making
a series of mall ap-
pearances, as well as
performing at such
venues as Madame
Wong's West and
The Palace.
Thirteen years
later, in 2000,
Tuesday released
her second album,
“Here It Comes”,
which had more
of a commercial
success than her
self titled debut.
In between releasing her albums and acting in such
feature films as Mistress; Calendar Girl; The Babysitter
(1995); and 2016's How to Be Single, Tuesday per-
formed some highly memorable songs for film and
television. Her recording of the song “Ivory Tower”
was featured on the 1990 soundtrack to Mad About
You. A 1996 episode of The Profiler titled “I'll Be
Watching You” was scored with Tuesday's rendition
of The Police's iconic classic “Every Breath You Take.”
In 2001, Tuesday lent her vocal styling to the song “If
It Takes All Night” for the movie “The Theory of the
Leisure Class.”

Tuesday has also enjoyed stints as a keyboardist
and backing vocalist for the David Bowie Tribute
Band Space Oddity, and most recently retired from
performing as the lead singer in a Deborah Harry,
Blondie tribute band named Rapture: The Blondie
Tribute.
“Faith”, an 18-track
album featuring
a collection of
songs Tuesday
recorded over
the previous
25 years, was
released in 2012.
Tuesday cur-
rently has all of
her classic mate-
rial available for
download at most
major download
stores. But to
Tuesday's devot-
ed fans, her most
successful song,
even to this day, is
Nightmare.
Tuesday was so ex-
cited to have gotten
the role of Kristen
in The Dream Mas-
ter, that she wanted
to lend her musical
talents to the film
as well. She wrote
and recorded the song Nightmare (whose full length
version runs just over 2 minutes, and is used during
the film in its entirety) fairly quickly, gave it to the
producer, and really thought no more about it during
filming.
When Tuesday sat down with the rest of the cast and
crew to watch the final cut of Nightmare 4 for the first
time, she almost fell out of her seat when she heard
the opening notes of her song start to play at the tail
end of the New Line Cinema logo.
